Location: The Jesuit Nations

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Lady GaGa Territories of Marry The Night is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.006 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Commerce and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22%. A robust private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales industries.

Smoking is banned in public areas, graffiti graces every city's streets, the nation's youth is held blameless for all crimes, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Marry The Night in an international press conference. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Marry The Night's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the GaGa Coin.

Marry The Night is ranked 242nd in The Jesuit Nations and 67,981st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
